5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Rules Immigrants in ICE Custody Have No Constitutional Right to Bond Hearing

A federal appeals court has ruled that immigrants detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after entering the country illegally do not have a constitutional right to a bond hearing. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' 10-7 ruling states that current immigration laws allow the federal government to hold detained immigrants until deportation, regardless of their ties to the U.S. or lack of criminal history. This decision is seen as a victory for the Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies.
